Total factor productivity efficiency changes in a Malaysian hotel chain

Bank Risks and Total Productivity Changes in Malaysian Banks

This study employs non-parametric Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to obtain the Malmquist total factor productivity index (MPI). The analysis is based on 19 Malaysian banks (domestic and foreign) and the period of study is from 2010 to 2014. The results indicate that the progress or retrogress of 14 Malaysian banks’ efficiency were largely due to scale rather than pure technical efficiency with...

Total Factor Productivity Growth, Technical Change and Technical Efficiency Change in Asian Economies: Decomposition Analysis

The aim of this paper is to analyze total factor productivity (TFP) growth and its components in Asian countries applying Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) to the time series data of 44 Asian countries from 2000 to 2010. Using Battese and Coelli approach, TFP is divided into technical efficiency change and technical change. TFP decomposition using SFA method for the years 1998 to 2007 indicate...

Higher education, technical efficiency and total productivity changes: evidence from Iran's manufacturing industries

The purpose of this article was to estimate the effect of higher education on total productivity changes and technical efficiency in the 4-digit classification code of ISIC in Iran during the period of 1994-04. In this regard, a two-way stage approach was used. In the first stage, Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI) and technical efficiency index by Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Stochastic...

Total Factor Productivity∗

Total Factor Productivity (TFP) is the portion of output not explained by the amount of inputs used in production. The following definition describes the measurement and importance of TFP for growth, fluctuations and development as well as likely future directions of research. Total Factor Productivity (TFP) is the portion of output not explained by the amount of inputs used in production. As s...
